Handball is a demanding sport that often leads to injuries due to intense training and matches. Correct application of stretching exercises is essential for injury prevention and performance improvement. Muscle and joint injuries are common among handball players, and improper or insufficient stretching can increase their risk. The lack of clear guidelines on specific stretching exercises further complicates the situation. Research shows that dynamic stretching, which involves movement through the full range of motion, improves explosive performance and flexibility. In contrast, varied stretching can be beneficial for long-term improvement in flexibility and recovery, but can decrease muscle strength when used alone. Integrating efficient and dynamic stretching can reduce negative effects and increase efficiency. In addition to physical benefits, stretching also has mental benefits, such as reducing stress and improving mood. Regular stretching improves general physical condition, reduces muscle tension and improves circulation. It can also help maintain joint health, which is especially important as we age. In conclusion, combination of different types of stretching adapted to the individual needs of the athlete offers the best results in preventing injuries and improving sports performance. K
